I read this in a few hours on a very slow reference desk shift and really enjoyed it. Tingle created a convincingly accurate conservative Christian sect that was really well done for the most part. My one quibble is that the prayer to St. Michael that is used a few times in here is from a Catholic tradition and most evangelicals are really weird about Catholicism and praying to saints. So that was a bit of a miss for me.
Otherwise, Tingle really captures the way that certain Evangelical Christians decide that the end justifies the means. Sure, someone people would think that forcing demonic/otherworldly creature possession on queer kids to "save" their souls would be bad. But honestly, in 2025, it doesn't sound all that far-fetched.
